Class MedicationAdministration

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Visitable
    @Generated("com.ibm.fhir.tools.CodeGenerator")
public class MedicationAdministration
extends DomainResource
    Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner.

    Maturity level: FMM2 (Trial Use)

    • Method Detail

      • getIdentifier

        public List<Identifier> getIdentifier()
        Identifiers associated with this Medication Administration that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate. They are business identifiers assigned to this resource by the performer or other systems and remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Identifier that may be empty.

      • getInstantiates

        public List<Uri> getInstantiates()
        A protocol, guideline, orderset, or other definition that was adhered to in whole or in part by this event.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Uri that may be empty.

        public List<Reference> getPartOf()
        A larger event of which this particular event is a component or step.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Reference that may be empty.

      • getStatus

        public MedicationAdministrationStatus getStatus()
        Will generally be set to show that the administration has been completed. For some long running administrations such as infusions, it is possible for an administration to be started but not completed or it may be paused while some other process is under way.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type MedicationAdministrationStatus that is non-null.

      • getStatusReason

        public List<CodeableConcept> getStatusReason()
        A code indicating why the administration was not performed.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type CodeableConcept that may be empty.

      • getCategory

        public CodeableConcept getCategory()
        Indicates where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getMedication

        public Element getMedication()
        Identifies the medication that was administered. This is either a link to a resource representing the details of the medication or a simple attribute carrying a code that identifies the medication from a known list of medications.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept or Reference that is non-null.

      • getSubject

        public Reference getSubject()
        The person or animal or group receiving the medication.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that is non-null.

      • getContext

        public Reference getContext()
        The visit, admission, or other contact between patient and health care provider during which the medication administration was performed.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that may be null.

      • getSupportingInformation

        public List<Reference> getSupportingInformation()
        Additional information (for example, patient height and weight) that supports the administration of the medication.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Reference that may be empty.

      • getEffective

        public Element getEffective()
        A specific date/time or interval of time during which the administration took place (or did not take place, when the 'notGiven' attribute is true). For many administrations, such as swallowing a tablet the use of dateTime is more appropriate.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type DateTime or Period that is non-null.

      • getReasonCode

        public List<CodeableConcept> getReasonCode()
        A code indicating why the medication was given.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type CodeableConcept that may be empty.

      • getReasonReference

        public List<Reference> getReasonReference()
        Condition or observation that supports why the medication was administered.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Reference that may be empty.

      • getRequest

        public Reference getRequest()
        The original request, instruction or authority to perform the administration.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Reference that may be null.

      • getDevice

        public List<Reference> getDevice()
        The device used in administering the medication to the patient. For example, a particular infusion pump.

        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Annotation that may be empty.

      • getEventHistory

        public List<Reference> getEventHistory()
        A summary of the events of interest that have occurred, such as when the administration was verified.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type Reference that may be empty.

      • accept

        public void accept​(String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use
